I had posted this previously.

I was doing a scenic flight with two passengers in the 300CBi, and I was cruiseing along the coast returning to the airfield at about 1200 AGL when I noticed a kite, which i pointed out to my passengers. I quickly realised that the kite was close to 1000 AGL.
I flew past it and broadcast the position of the kite to other aircraft in the local area.
Could have turned nasty as aircraft often fly through there at 500-1000 AGL.
